Someone who thinks they know everything about life even though they've never left the house and experienced anything for themselves. They come off like they're knowledgeable but only for the sole purpose of impressing others. In reality, they're looking up articles on Wikipedia that probably aren't even accurate.

"No you weren't, you're just a douchebag Wiki scholar who's never even been outside. Turn off the computer and get a life."

Get the mope.io wiki mug.The Wikipedian Loop occurs when the use of Wikipedia to research a particular subject leads to an infinite loop of addiction.
This addiction is characterised by staring transfixed at Wikipedia pages for hours at a time and usually results in varying levels of frustration and distress at the impossibility of ever successfully reading through all the Wikipedia pages currently open without the urge to open even more to linked subjects and thus continue the Loop.
At its climax an infinite number of screens may be open (allowing for your computers capabilities).

Get the Wikipedian Loop mug.A game with the object of reaching Hitler's Wikipedia page by clicking on "Random Article", then clicking links in that article to get to other articles, until eventually you can find a link to Adolf Hitler's page. There are rules against using the "find on this page" option in your browser, and there is sometimes a time limit on how long you can spend on each page. Your score is determined by your number of clicks before clicking on Hitler's page. If you reach Hitler's page by clicking on "Random Article", you win the game forever and are probably Jesus.
me: Yo, this computer class is so boring, lets play that Hitler Wikipedia game.
you: okay...*click*...OH MY GOD HITLERS PAGE CAME UP WHEN I CLICKED RANDOM ARTICLE!!!
me: HOLY JESUS!!!!!!!!!

Get the Wikipedia Degree mug.Following hyperlinks from topic to topic on Wikipedia as you continually come across concepts you want to explore in more detail. It usually results in simulatenously exploring multiple deep threads of related topics, but ending up in various places far from where you began.
